[ That's generally the outcome when someone forgets to duck and there's a sharp object coming in at (terminal) velocity, isn't it? It never pays to lose your head HA HA during the heat of battle.
Her eyes narrow as he closes the gap once again. Up close he certainly would've had the advantage, being more flexible than she is, but at a distance... well, either he has a gambit up his sleeve, or he's testing her defenses. Either reason is sound enough to pay attention to unusual details he may unconsciously give off.
Excalibur flashes up again - deflect, step, step, block, sidestep, riposte, jab - each motion smooth, economical. Since the main mass of his body is out of reach, she changes tactics to target his wrist and forearm instead; severing a tendon or temporarily weakening his grip would give her enough leeway to step in and increase pressure.
Theoretically, anyway. To be honest Saber is mostly operating on instinct and taking chances as they present themselves. ]
